Our Industry. Your Council.

The Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council (CTHRC) is an organization dedicated to addressing human resource issues in the trucking industry.

The CTHRC conducts research and disseminates the information which helps the trucking industry to understand its labour market issues, and then provides the resources to help identify, attract, train and retain the employees who are critical to the industry’s success.

CTHRC works with industry organizations, employers, educators and labour, who are collectively committed to improving the professionalism and sustainability of the industry.

Together, they develop and deliver the products and programs that are dedicated to meeting these important goals.

As a not for profit National Sector Council, the CTHRC is intended to improve the quality of the Canadian labour force and help industry address changing competitive demands. The CTHRC and its partners address a large range of issues linked to technological change, quality standards, planning and human resources.

Canada’s trucking industry currently employs more than 500,000 people. Between now and 2015, the trucking industry will need to attract more than 30,000 qualified workers. The Council is dedicated to help alleviate the pressures of the labour challenges to come.
